Features: "Safety Chemistry" is an interdisciplinary field that combines the two first-level disciplines of chemistry and safety. This book presents the subject of safety chemistry, which is both interdisciplinary and marginal, in an accessible and vivid manner. The book is divided into thirteen chapters. Chapters 1 to 4 focus on element chemistry, with an emphasis on metal elements, particularly active metals and heavy metals, in terms of their pollution and harm to humans and the environment. Chapters 5 to 10 introduce the characteristic reactions of organic chemistry and the important features of organic compounds. Chapter 11 emphasizes the modern analytical testing techniques and methods for chemicals. Chapters 12 and 13 discuss the hazards of various chemicals and case studies of accidents. This book is a highly specialized discipline in the field of safety engineering, situated between the fundamentals of chemical safety and professional safety technologies. From a technical perspective, any industrial production requires corresponding safety technologies. This book can serve as a reference for safety technology professionals and researchers in chemical production, as well as a teaching material for safety engineering or safety science programs in higher education institutions.
